Pinkness

Oh the glorious pinkness of this wedding attire. Having a little boy makes you appreciate the splashes of girliness!

Someday folder

This goes into my "Someday" image folder. You know that folder, I'm sure you have one too. The one with pictures of spacious kitchens and deliciously organized, color-coated craft spaces. The one with cupboards filled with pretty china and ceramic bowls and glazed chocolate cakes on the counter. The folder you keep images of pink soft light floating into a cozy den with plaid pillows and fluffy rugs by the hearth. When you have a free moment, you'll have to tell me what's in yours!

New favorites

Happy Monday! So, some of my (Julia's) new favorite things:

1. Walks through Chestnut Hill, where the houses are grand and dreamy
2. Cheddar cheese and fresh tomatoes
3. New Mommies group, where each burp, hiccup, and poo is celebrated
4. Realizing that I can do this--believe me, it's been an adventure
5. Watching comfort movies with Andrew in the evenings while this little guy is conked out
6. Seeing William smile--those chubby cheeks! Just can't resist smootching them

Out and about

We're making it out and about these days--slowly emerging from the coziness of our apartment. Our apartment that still has piles of stuff needing to be relocated, mind you--but I keep thinking, there are other important things going on--like the fact that this little man is starting to hold himself up, sleep through most of the night and smile. That first smile, when you realize that, yes, he's actually smiling at you and not the toot that just escaped, well, then your heart melts and the fact that he was fussy for two hours the night before fades.
